Got them installed the other day. Just waiting for some more funds to become available to buy the rest. Does anyone know about valve clearances? I thought you always checked with the lobes facing up but what I’m seeing on videos is different. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a head gasket failure, so I hade the heads resurfaced and checked the block for cracks and clearances. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep. It will be. Waiting on a side job to get the rest of the parts. Got the header flanges cut off and the first V bands welded on. Stainless steel exhaust pipe is kinda pricey lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No I’m not using the Y pipe. Going to cut the ends of the headers and weld V bands on and connect them with a fabricated H pipe and run true dual exhaust. Installing an o2 sensor on the h pipe and a mini cat on one of the exhausts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m going to do an H pipe to allow for more even flow of exhaust. Oh and btw they fit like a glove. Haven’t bolted them in yet, just mocked them up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s what I wanted to do. As I said I would run dual exhaust as long as the headers fit on the heads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone know if the red back headers that are for the Toyota hilux fits the same engine on a 3rd gen 4runner? I ended up cutting my exhaust out while taking my heads out to redo the head gasket. Would rather straight pipe it out vs using the crossover pipe. So headers and dual exhaust is...

So I have a 1997 4runner sr5 4wd with 202k miles. I replaced the timing belt and the tensioner at 193k. I replaced my valve cover gaskets and all associated with that project last weekend. All week it drove fine with the exception of hard to start when cold (i figured the starter was going)...
